Planting & Care

Start seeds indoors 4–6 weeks before the last expected frost, or direct sow outdoors in early spring or midsummer for a fall crop. Sow seeds ¼ inch deep in seed-starting mix or well-prepared garden soil. Keep the soil evenly moist and maintain a temperature of 65–75°F for best germination, which typically occurs in 7–14 days. Once seedlings have two sets of true leaves, thin or transplant to the recommended spacing.

Brussels sprouts thrive in full sun and fertile, well-drained soil. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around plants to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Fertilize lightly when plants are about 4 weeks old. For best flavor, harvest sprouts from the bottom of the stem upward after they reach 1–1.5 inches in diameter. Frost exposure enhances sweetness.
